Thousands of animals currently reside in zoos around the world. Recently, there has been much debate about the value of zoos in today's world. Careful consideration of the facts reveals that zoos are unethical and should be closed.
First, defenders of zoos say that they are an important way of saving animals from extinction. However, in actuality, zoos have had very little success in protecting animals. One reason for this is because many animals do not thrive in zoos. Breeding in captivity is often .difficult to encourage. Endangered animals fare far better with protection programs that allow them to stay in the wild.
Additionally, zoos do not adequately provide animals with living spaces that are like their natural habitats. As a result, animals are not able to behave as they normally would. For example, a lion in a small cage is not able to run around, much less hunt. In the end, the animals end up depressed or with behavioral problems. This would not occur, of course, if they were not kept in zoos in the first place.
Finally, zoos simply are not the best way to study animals. There are a number of well-researched books available. Alternately, wildlife biologists stand to gain much more knowledge about animals by observing them in the wild. That way, they see how animals interact with other creatures without human interference.
